## 1 I've been here several times to visit colleagues who stay here and to attend last year's Suns draft party. The hotel is well appointed and the decor is very modern. The service here is outstanding too. Employees are attentive and willing to assist you.\n\nHowever, I primarily use this place as a place to park. Their valet is very convenient to the US Airways Arena, Arrogant Butcher, and other downtown bars/restaurants.....so, I valet park here and walk to other business...shhh.\n\nReturn Factor - 90%
## 2 I've never stayed here before, but I've attended a couple of events in the conference area and used the parking lot for Coyotes games. Some thing you should know....Self parking garage costs $$$, so does valet. It varies based on the event, so be sure to check ahead of time.\n\nThe hotel lobby and amenities are nice for attending a conference. Their meeting rooms are spacious and well appointed. Their staff is well trained and helpful too.\n\nAlthough I haven't stayed in the rooms, I recommend this place to friends and family who visit from out of town to watch Coyotes & Cardinals games because it's so convenient to the Arena/Stadium. They've always been happy with their stay, so I continue to recommend.\n\nOne of these days I will take my own advice and stay there on a game weekend, perhaps next Fiesta Bowl...?\n\nReturn Factor - 80%
## 3 Stayed here for a few days.....the place is great. Here's what I liked:\n\n+ Complimentary Continental Breakfast.\n\n+ Large, spacious suites.\n\n+ Full kitchen and they provide utensils and cookware on request at no additional charge.\n\n+ Nice access to restaurants within walking distance.\n\n+ Pillows are unbelievably soft....I wish I could take them home!\n\n+ Bath & Body bathroom amenities are very nice....the bar of soap is larger than most hotels.\n\n+ They have on site, self serve laundry machines in case you need it.\n\n+ FREE WiFi.\n\nAs you can see, there's a lot to like about the place. It's an older property, but well kept.....if you're into the newer designed hotels, this might not be for you.\n\nOverall, it was a nice stay.\n\nReturn Factor - 90%
## 4 Tucked away in Paradise Valley, this boutique hotel is truly amazing. I came here to visit friends and have dinner @ Elements. The view of Paradise Valley is awesome. It's so quiet here at night that you forget that you're in the Phoenix Metro area.....it truly lives up to it's name.\n\nThe rooms are awesome and have patios that open up and face the pool area. We hung out there for hours relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. Sometimes just doing nothing in peace & quiet is enough to recharge your batteries.\n\nI will definitely come back.\n\nReturn Factor - 100%
## 5 This is a gem of a resort. Tucked away in the foothills at Troon North, this resort is top notch. It deserves it's AAA 5 Diamond rating. Every time I've been here, the service is top notch. Every employee from the valet staff when we arrive, to the bus person at the restaurant understands how to provide guests with 5 Diamond service.\n\nI've had the pleasure of being a guest here when a few friends from out of town stayed here over the summer. We were able to join them for an evening by snatching a low summer rate. Although it was only 1 night, we were very relaxed and felt like we were 1000 miles away from Phoenix. The rooms are spectacular with premium amenities.\n\nIn addition to staying here, I come here for lunch from time to time with colleagues. The food in all of their restaurants is amazing. They also recently launched a food truck, yep a food truck!\n\nOverall, this is one of Scottsdale's best resorts.\n\nReturn Factor - 100%
## 6 Located in downtown Phoenix, this hotel is a great place to meet after hours during a conference at the convention center. It's only a couple of blocks away and I have come here often to meet clients in the lobby to have a few drinks and go over contracts and proposals.\n\nBeing a local resident, I've never stayed in the rooms and can only comment on the public areas. The lobby has a cool, modern look to it. Very clean and upscale. It's the perfect vibe for conducting business and gets them in the mood to get the deal done. I've found that the vibe/decor of a meeting place can help or hurt your business deals and can affect people's attitude towards the subject matter being discussed. The reason why I give this place 4 Stars is because in my experience they've helped me through a few successful negotiations and my clients have always commented on how nice the staff and hotel rooms are. The lobby has several areas where you can conduct business and maintain a semi-private conversation while remaining comfortable. That's key to me.\n\nAs long as this place continues to deliver the goods, I'll keep coming back. When the other hotels closer to the convention center sell out, I always recommend this place as an alternative to clients visiting from out of town. So far, it hasn't disappointed them and that means I'm happy too.\n\nReturn Factor - 90%
## 7 I've never stayed at this resort, but I've been here several times to meet clients in the Mbar. This place is a cool spot to do that because it's tucked away in Paradise Valley and the property is gorgeous. Parking is easy with a Valet entrance just off of Lincoln Dr. I like to meet here during Happy Hour (3-6 pm). I will write a separate review for the Mbar.\n\nReturn Factor - 90%
